PS2 versions of Sonic Heroes and Sonic Mega Collection Plus had a few problems that other versions of the games did not have. Sonic Heroes had camera and framerate problems while Sonic Mega Collection Plus had audio problems. Sonic Team may have had some development problems due to lack of experience making games for the PS2.

The PS2 version of Sonic Gems Collection was released in Japan and Europe, but the U.S. version was never released for unknown reasons.
